“I have a strong interest in photography…Because photography is also about seeing something in your own way.
I build up a big library of images, which also remind me about how I felt about something.
For a design to last, for it to remain something that appeals, it must be doing something relatively new aesthetically – I think it needs to be stimulating.” – as shared with Dezeen
